For many years, Soroptimists have raised awareness about Modern Day Slavery and trafficking, so we are pleased to share this online course prepared by The Clewer Initiative – Women in the Shadows.\u00a0 Please see the following message from Bishop Alastair Redfern, The Clewer Initiative.<\/p>\n
The above course is now ready to download on The Clewer Initiative website –
\nwww.theclewerinitiative.org \/womenintheshadows<\/p>\n
Everything you will need\u00a0 is online and is a resource to use during Lent.<\/p>\n
The focus of the course is how women and girls can become
\ntrapped in sexual exploitation, forced labour and county lines drug
\nsmuggling and what life is like for them beyond slavery. It also
\nexplores how we can support victims as they recover from the trauma and
\nbuild resilient communities where modern slavery is noticed and cannot
\nthrive.<\/p>\n
It is so important that we raise awareness of the suffering of
\nmarginalised women in the UK and we pray that through this course and
\nseason of Lent, we may be able to reach more people with this important
\nmessage.<\/p>\n
Could you help us do this? Is there anyone you could tell about the
\ncourse? Could you spread the word in your community? Could you share our
\ntweets on your social media channels?<\/p>\n
We are so grateful for your support and partnership \u2013 if you need any
\nfurther information about modern slavery in the UK, please go to our
\nwebsite where there is a range of brilliant resources to help raise
\nawareness of modern slavery and equip the local church and community to
\nget involved.<\/p>\n
Best wishes<\/p>\n
